(597 posts)Otherwise you would have seen in the comments directly below where I advocate for reform in the laws that would not be acceptable to "2A Extremists".
Presuming that "gun owners" as a monolithic block pull a Charles Heston is exactly the logical fallacy I just pointed out. I might even say that you classing Gabrielle Giffords, Harry Reid, Patrick Leahy (all of whom are "gun owners"
or Rachel Maddow (a self-described gun enthusiast) or 30% of all Democrats (the percentage who own guns, like this) as someone who is "spitting on the graves of the dead" is...what's the term I'm looking for? Oh yeah, "a bridge too far". Even when the logical fallacy is shoved in your face, the very first thing you did was repeat it. At least your arguments are flawed in a consistent fashion.
And please refresh my memory. When was the last time you were civil to any liberal gun owner here at DU? Because we're the moderate ones and I would have thought that being civil should be the default for someone worried about other people's impulse control.
See also this. It seems appropriate enough for the issue of extreme gun control advocates and their authoritarian conservative counterparts.
